Alex Dancing

Alex seems to be following in the footsteps of the McLean siblings. You may not know that Mike created a trend that is still going strong within his family. Mike was a percussionist in our high school marching band and his legacy has remained strong. His sister's Marianna, Melissa, Monica, and now Melinda have all participated as percussionist as well. Last weekend, on our local channel, they were featuring the high school bands around the state. Not only was Alex mesmerized by the music but started to dance to the music too! Here's the video with Alex and his handsome Daddy!







A big kiss for Daddy!

Zoo Story

We had a fabulous 4th of July weekend! No, we didn't see any fireworks because little Alex was in bed by 7 pm but we enjoyed a productive yet relaxing weekend. Since Mike had five days off, he was finally able to plant the rest of the trees we had purchased. They are cute little evergreens called green Arborvitae that we planted on one side of our fence. Our once barren backyard is now looking quite nice. I have my vegetable garden, a Greenspire Linden tree, an Austrian Pine, a couple of vines, and now the Arborvitaes. It's going to be our little forest :)
We also had a busy weekend with Alex. We took him to the Denver Zoo on Friday. It was a scorching day but Alex seemed to enjoy every bit of it. He loved looking at all the animals and people watch.
Last but not least, Mike and I had a date night! It was the first time we ever had anyone babysit outside of the family. Our neighbor Mary was kind enough to offer her babysitting services and we were able to go out for dinner and a movie. We saw Transformers which was a visually stunning movie. Great special effects and had its comedic moments. It was a typical Michael Bay film, explosions, sweeping camera angles encircling the main characters, booming orchestral soundtrack...think Armageddon and Pearl Harbor. It was a great movie to see in a movie theatre.
It was definitely a nice treat to have spent the last few days with Mike. Not only was he there to help out with Alex but Alex really enjoyed having his Daddy around. There doesn't seem to be moment without Alex's giggles echoing throughout the house because Daddy was being silly. But alas, all good things must come to an end. Is Labor Day hear yet?

Summer Time Fun!


Summer has hit Denver. It has been a blazing 100 degrees the past few days and what better way to cool off than being in a baby pool? Alex and his neighbor buddy Henry have been doing just that! It's adorable watching these two little boys become friends. It evolved from uncertainty (staring at each other) to a bit of hair pulling and now taking toys away from each other! Ha! Best friends for life :) We are looking forward to this 4th of July weekend, Mike has a record of five days off! Yes! We are planning to visit the zoo, have a little barbeque, splash around the pool, and just general lazying around. Not too bad eh? Happy 4th everyone!
